Pfft province?? You insult me sir!

If you are lucky those mines might open up again once we are out of the EU.

On the off chance anyone on here or anyone who knows someone who will be visiting Liverpool to see HMS PoW. The tour aboard is a ticket affair. And all tickets sold out within 2 hrs. For both Sat & Sun.

she has arrived. Weather was terrible, gale force winds, freezing rain, I was soaking wet, drove home in my boxies and t shirt with air con on full blast and heated seats on full wack. just about dried off and got feeling back in my fingers as i arrived home. I cant wait to get onboard this weekend. :D

She's massive, looks big on photos, but in the flesh she's something else. Great British engineering.

Hundreds of well-wishers have waved off Royal Navy aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth as it set sail for sea trials.

The £3 billion warship left Portsmouth Naval Base for planned trials and training ahead of its first deployment this spring.

The UK Royal Navy’s Type 45 destroyer HMS Defender has departed Portsmouth to undergo sea trials and training.

The ‘intensive training’ comes ahead of the HMS Queen Elizabeth’s Carrier Strike Group 21 deployment this spring.

Fantastic site to behold. Good luck to all the servicemen and woman on this journey, quite jealous to be honest. Certainly proud though!

It would seem as two escorts from the carrier group will divert to the black sea, for a limited time the rest of the carrier group will take part in action against ISIS in Syria and Iraq.

Yeah, certainly Destroyer size.

The Aussies and Canadians are also building the type 26.
